Inner voice...

PEN AND PAPER trailThe paper is usually made from the normal destruction of trees which caused lot of soil erosion and led to extinction of many villages in the rural areas.Past few years there were these enviornmentally friendly books made available.They were only available in the globalised book stores and are compartively expensive.The lay man would never pay such a high price for saving trees.

The television advertisements in India mostly show the latest technology they have used to produce to make the nib which would give smooth writing.Its a whole new world when you see the Indian (pen)ADS..May be if the scientists who are trying to make this space age pens take a break and the funds are given to AIDS scientists ...We may have a cure...Does the plastic which is used in the pens, harm the soil??WIll the future generations have to breathe toxins instead of oxygen!!!The chain of identical stores [which have sprung up in the past few years which sell the space age pens and paper(env/non env)(books)] have made the smaller warm unique shops extinct ..This cancer has made so many jobless,families hungry and overall we have suceeded to increase the gap between rich and poor.

This is a story of the paper and pen ..countless lives are changed,made better,made worse..when we make the decision of buying the ordinary pen and paper.These ramblings are common to many of us .We all sometime or the other go through these voices which tell us how we effect the world in general.The main question here is do we let the voice pass as a whisper and disappear or let it echo in our lives and amplify it so that its explodes ...
